Title: Innovations by Joachim Patzer
Introduction
Joachim Patzer is a notable inventor based in Langebrueck, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of semiconductor technology, holding a total of 11 patents. His work focuses on improving semiconductor structures and manufacturing processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method of forming a semiconductor structure including silicided and non-silicided circuit elements." This method involves providing a semiconductor structure with different circuit elements and forming a dielectric layer with intrinsic stress. The process includes a first annealing step that creates intrinsic stress in the semiconductor material, followed by the removal of a portion of the dielectric layer. A layer of metal is then formed, which reacts with the semiconductor material to create a silicide, while another portion of the dielectric layer prevents unwanted chemical reactions.
Another significant patent is "Balancing asymmetric spacers." This invention addresses the issue of spacer thickness imbalance in semiconductor circuits that include PFETs with an SiGe alloy and NFETs without it. The proposed manufacturing flow introduces a spacer-reducing etching process before salicidation, which helps to thin the NFET spacer structures and balance the thickness between NFETs and PFETs.
